Pop's picked this up in the last day or two came from a F-150. Took an F-250 home for the day and then took this home for the day and didn't want to give it back. He's not the most tech savvy so he brought it up today so I could get him all connected and go through things with him. Said he...

Yeah everything is definitely struggling with electronics. I don't disagree on the Ford being a little bland but I think I would rather have understated than in your face overstated which is what I feel about the Tacoma. Plus the fit and finish on the Ranger just seems way better to me than the...

I agree with preferring the GM interior It just wasn't on the list of options given. I think the Ford infotainment system is significantly better than Toyota's newest attempt. I also don't like all of the gimmicky flashy stuff on the inside of the Toyotas. Too busy, no chill. Lots of weird...

Most of the dealers will assume it's a faulty headlamp and replace it under warranty as it's an easy fix and can provide a solution. This should take the guessing out of it.

I'm seeing they announced a fix, put the stop sale in place to fix all of the current inventory and issued the recall. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2024/09/gm-issues-stop-sale-order-on-some-2024-gmc-canyon-pickups/ "Luckily, General Motors has a fix. Dealers are to replace a module in the...

I thought about this for a few days and I guess my feeling is I don't care that it's Chinese just like I don't really care that Japanese or German or any other country. The end result of this could mean that the US manufacturers have to up their game and reduce their price, That's a win for all...

No different than us.

Everything I answered above quoting Tim but also I think GM and Ford significantly closed the gap on Toyota's dominance in the midsize market. They did it with better interiors, better capability and at a better price point. Specifically vs Toyota Better towing Better payload Interior space...

My dad just got $5500 off MSRP on a 2024 2500 AT4 GMC. That was just the advertised deal, not sure what he was able to work it to.

I can't support the Tacoma at its price point and capability at said price point. The Ranger has a more roomy interior, can be had for cheaper, can tow and haul more and at the top end it's performance is better than the Tacoma which is many thousands of dollars more. Haven't watched a single...

My vote would go to the Ranger.

In reading further they also don't get paid any diagnostic fees which is where they make a huge percentage of their profit. Because the TSB has made the diagnosis for them they only get to do exactly what the TSB says and then get short paid on it.

Those thoughts are similar to what I've also always heard.

That's something we've never been able to really figure out. It's clear there's hesitation to perform the work, I don't know what happens on the back end to cause the dealers to deny the service.

I think a lot of these junk complaints go away if they weren't gouging consumers on price every which way possible. The auto indsutry is ripe for another (mild) collapse. They're building vehicles nobody wants, EV, and raising the prices of the vehicles people do want, trucks and SUV's, to make...

It's only Canyons not Colorado's, a fix is available and a stop sale and recall has been issued.

@testerdahl You often ask where the mistruct comes from. This is a prime example. Owner begin reporting transmission issues in manual Tacomas. Some media runs with "Toyota has massive transmission issues." Others downplay and at times mock the owners as a one off issue. Later, automatic...

Possibly, that should be a pretty easy solution though. They have the fix ready and issued a recall. Imagine having to prove your Canyon has this issue to get a TSB completed.

That's the problem with TSB's, you have to prove your having the issue or the delaer won't do anything. It's a cop out on Toyota and the dealer. Frustrating for owners.

I don't think any crow is needed but I also don't think we're at the point in declaring this a none issue. It's clearly more widespread than initially thought and Toyota's history of handling TSB is shaky. It's put the option of diagnosing and performing the work on the dealer instead of a...
